According to djangoproject, deploying Django with apache and mod_wsgi is the way to go. I keep seeing these terms over and over again but I've had it explained to me over and over but I still don't get it. I know this is getting a bit off topic but it would be great if someone could take another stab and explain how apache and mod_wsgi fits in with the deployment.
The built-in dev server isn't intended to be run in production. It can only handle one connection at a time and has never been security audited. It's purely for the convenience of the developer and not intended for production deployment.
Apache is a web server. Simplistically, mod_wsgi is the means by which Apache can pass requests to and from the Python interpreter. I prefer nginx and fcgi as alternatives to Apache and mod_wsgi. Feel free to contact me if you would rather have someone else get this setup for you so that you can concentrate on your development.
